Excellent article. I wonder what all the American Leftists who talk about how this country has engaged in colonialism would feel if they were raped, their children taken hostage and their friends and parents murdered on social media. That’s the real test isn’t it? Leftists are always talking about how horrible this country is. What if the “oppressed” of the world started to treat us like Israel is now being treated?

My guess is they see themselves in the “freedom fighters”. they don’t identify with the innocent victims of the terrorism. There’s a certain bloodlust in the human heart, and this evil ideology gives it free rein. That they would likely get a nasty wake-up call is no comfort to me.

If it happened here, there are some people who are so brainwashed that they would just blather on about “generational trauma”, “restorative justice”, and “noncarceral solutions”.

Indeed. I live in a neighborhood in Philadelphia that was looted two weeks ago. The vast majority of the residents here are hardworking people who just want to take care of their families and do not approve of violence, in fact they are the victims of it. Gun violence is out of control in my neighborhood. Those who engage in violence are in the minority but they make life terrifying for everyone else.

My guess? They’d find a way to explain it somehow. It’s the only way this ideology has survived despite resulting in the death of over 100 million souls. It defies logic or reason. It’s their religion and they are zealots.
